Selling agent <a href="/agents/holly-komorowski/">Holly Komorowski</a> from <a href="https://zango.com.au/agencies/home-holly/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">home.by holly</a> says the four-bedroom home at <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/10-chapman-street-braddon-act-2612-97085/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">10 Chapman Street</a>, Braddon, has been transformed by a flawless refurbishment.“It’s impeccable – the condition, the style, the feel, and the way they have used recycled materials from 100 years ago and made them look like they belong there is just beautiful.”<img alt="10-chapman-street-braddon-act-2612-97085-image-0-20240307003216348670-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/10-chapman-street-braddon-act-2612-97085-image.width-800.jpg" width="800">Holly is referring to the Blackbutt flooring from renowned timber recycler Thor’s Hammer, which salvages (or saves) timber from local demolitions and reworks it into custom-made works of wonder.“Thor’s Hammer is an institution in Canberra now – anyone with something from Thor’s in their build will mention it.“It’s a wonderful piece of Canberra culture. Another older and more historic piece of Canberra is represented here in the Canberra red bricks from the Yarralumla brickworks. Canberrans have an emotional attachment to them, and they have been featured throughout the garden and outside areas of this property. It’s a really nice touchpoint.“The owners have great style.”The 960 square metre corner block has both Chapman and Gooreen Street frontage.New terracotta roof tiles, double glazing, boosted insulation and an 8.2 kW solar array contribute to excellent sustainability.The house has received the magic touch of Gina Carmody, who has again waved her wand and blended old-world architectural presence with airy new extensions and a highly liveable floorplan that aligns with contemporary living.<img alt="10-chapman-street-braddon-act-2612-97085-image-0-20240307003220247362-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/10-chapman-street-braddon-act-2612-97085-image.width-800_a1nzcET.jpg" width="800">The palatial kitchen draws inspiration from the home’s heritage roots. It has Hamptons-style handles, recessed porcelain sinks, and a shiny black Falcon Elan Classic Cooker. A pair of black pendants illuminate a double-sided breakfast bar. There is also a custom office nook and a renovated laundry.There are two bathrooms, two living areas and wool carpets in all bedrooms. Other special touches include heated floors, a mudroom, plantation shutters, and an ensuite bathroom with a freestanding bathtub and walk-in rain shower.<img alt="10-chapman-street-braddon-act-2612-97085-image-0-20240307003217757287-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/10-chapman-street-braddon-act-2612-97085-image.width-800_f6QKaBJ.jpg" width="800">“When the owners bought this property, it was still the original cottage on a massive block tucked behind a big hedge. They’ve totally transformed it.“The connection of the original cottage to the new area is really seamless. The new area spills out to the covered pergola, and when you step outside, there’s a wow factor, and you realise how lovely it is.“The house has a lovely façade both front and back.”Holly said it was a rare opportunity for a home like this to come onto the market in the area. She expects it to sell for somewhere in the mid-$2 million range.“You can’t beat this location for its proximity to everything and for having a home with so much space around you. You’re also surrounded by heritage-style and listed homes, so your precinct will remain intact, which is pretty special.“This is a tightly held area, and homes of this calibre in the Braddon precinct are few and far between.“People hold on to them forever. They’re long-term residents and it’s very generational around there. Often, properties are held on to by families, or they’re living in the house that their parents owned. It’s a tight-knit area.”10 Chapman Street, Braddon goes to auction Saturday 23 March at 12noon.<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/10-chapman-street-braddon-act-2612-97085/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the full listing.</a>Article originally written and published by <a href="https://the-riotact.com/legacy-refined-in-this-stunning-cottage-transformation-in-the-tightly-held-braddon-precinct/755056" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">the RiotACT</a>

When people come to Canberra for the weekend, what are they looking for in an Airbnb? Privacy? Proximity to Floriade? Views of Parliament House? New data from Airbnb shows that what they’re actually looking for is … room for their pooch to come too.A list of Canberra’s ‘most wished for’ properties on Airbnb shows <a href="https://www.airbnb.com.au/rooms/569687159813812763?source_impression_id=p3_1710111551_uZQjH9k7CXUK%2FaSa&amp;_set_bev_on_new_domain=1710193921_YzcyYjE3NjRhYWFk" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sarah and Matt’s abode in Higgins</a> is right at the top of the list: and it’s aptly named ‘Paw-fect pad’.<img alt="Pawfect 1" class="richtext-image full-width" height="432" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Pawfect_1.width-800.png" width="720">The one-bedroom, one-bathroom granny flat is described as “light, airy and modern, with plenty of creature comforts (for you and your four-legged friend)”.

Located at <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/23-batman-street-braddon-act-2612-96385/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">23 Batman Street</a>, this single-story brick home is a perfect example of a Civic cottage and still holds all its original charm, according to sales agent <a href="/agents/moira-maloney/">Moira Maloney</a> from <a href="https://zango.com.au/agencies/maloneys-property/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Maloney’s Property</a>.“This is a little bit of history that we are selling,” she explains. “It was one of the first 24 homes constructed for the new nation’s capital.”Located in Subdivision One, Neighborhood One (now known as the Braddon Conservation Area), the precinct’s design was the forerunner of Canberra’s residential streetscapes. Its cottages were modified from plans originally designed for housing railway workers in Lithgow.“The original style was meant to be unpretentious, with homely qualities, natural materials, and honesty expressed with its brick face work and simple roof planes with wide eaves. This home still has all those attributes,” she said.<img alt="Braddon 23 Batman Street_25" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Braddon_23_Batman_Street_25.width-800.jpg" width="800">The three-bedroom, two-bathroom home sits nestled behind a classic Photinia hedge on a generous 743 square metre allotment.“What sets this apart is that a lot of modern homes dominate the block they are on, whereas the heritage homes, and this one is an excellent example of that, have a relationship between the house and the garden and it’s just beautiful.“It sits nicely on the block and feels like it belongs there.”The original philosophy behind these homes was to create a healthy working and living environment for urban residents, with provisions for parks, playgrounds, open spaces, and tree and grass planting.“This was to allow for greater social interaction, and I think that’s as relevant today as it was back then, perhaps even more so. I’ve noticed a real sense of that with this house already.“I think my sellers here are some of the most popular people in Canberra as people are always dropping in to say hello!” she laughed.“I think that’s a testament to the beautiful sellers that I’m selling for, but the home itself lends itself to that.”<img alt="Braddon 23 Batman Street_11" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Braddon_23_Batman_Street_11.width-800.jpg" width="800">There is everything you would expect from a heritage home – high ceilings, two original and operating fireplaces, and internal doors and light fittings that reflect a bygone era.The precinct, established in 1921-22, is the first expression of the Garden City Concept in Canberra and was constructed to meet the urgent need to provide housing for public servants and workmen to facilitate the building of the Civic Centre and the establishment of the capital.“It’s lovely that so many of the property’s original features have been maintained,” said Moira.Apart from the addition of a sleepout in 1932 and the verandah enclosure in 1938, the structure of the house is original.“I love the fact that you’ve got all these rooms – a fireside chat room, your dining room, and your meals-kitchen space – so it’s like it makes an occasion of everything. It’s not all-in-one area. It makes occasions for each of them.“The overall feeling is solid, but it also has a wonderful energy, and you can almost hear the laughter of the children from previous generations – it’s 102 years old, after all!“That’s the feeling I get. You think, I wish these walls could talk. I can just imagine the conversations held here, through World War II, the Depression, – the people that have lived here, have lived.”She said the home would suit couples or young families. It’s close to public transport and within minutes of many of the premier social amenities of Canberra City.<img alt="Braddon 23 Batman Street_39" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Braddon_23_Batman_Street_39.width-800.jpg" width="800">The gardens are designed to function as an extension of the indoor living area and feature established deciduous and evergreen trees and raised garden beds for horticulture.Modern touches include solar panels on the roof, manually operated awnings fitted to the north- and west-facing windows, ceiling fans, ducted central heating, and heated towel rails in the main bathroom.“The feel of the house actually begins before you walk inside. It is a private oasis in the middle of Canberra, and you feel that the moment you walk in from the garden.“I can imagine someone getting married in the side garden. I can see how that would work so easily there.”She said it would be hard to find a more perfect position in the inner north.23 Batman Street, Braddon goes to Auction 10:30am Saturday 23 March.<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/23-batman-street-braddon-act-2612-96385/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the full listing.</a>Article originally written and published by <a href="https://the-riotact.com/modern-practicality-meets-tradition-in-this-charming-heritage-cottage-in-braddon/750606" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">the RiotACT</a>
